Euro 2008 - Day 6 Croatia Stunner

Croatia stole the show on day 6 of the 2008 European Championships as they took a stunning 2-1 win over one of the tourney favorites Germany.  In the other game, a controversial penalty decision in extra time gave Austria a draw with Poland.

Croatia 2  Germany 1
Croatia assumed pole position in Group B on Thursday evening with a 2-1 triumph over Euro 2008 favourites Germany in Klagenfurt. A goal in each half from Darijo Srna and Ivica Olic punished a disappointing German outfit, who were second best for much of the 90 minutes.  Lukas Podolski did pull a goal back for Germany on 78 minutes with a powerful shot from close range, but Croatia hung on as the Germans finished with 10 men.

Austria 1  Poland 1
Austria veteran Ivica Vastic levelled three minutes into injury time to earn a point against Poland after English referee Howard Webb awarded a controversial penalty.   Roger Guerreiro's first goal for his country looked to have given Poland a win against the Euro 2008 co-hosts Austria in Vienna.  Guerreiro, the Brazil-born playmaker, took advantage of an offside flag not appearing, another decision from the English officials that will cause debate.  Josef Hickersberger's side will not be happy with the team led by Webb, despite being given a way back into the game.  Who joins Croatia from Group B will now be left to the final matchday.
